bricked my phone help

Okay, take a deep breath.

You attempted to install a theme or ROM that was incompatible with your bootloader. Next time look more closely at what you're installing and make sure the numbers match with your System version and not just your OS Build. This is a major issue but it can be recovered. Unfortunately you will have to SBF your phone.

Do you remember your System version? It should look something like 2.3.340.

More importantly, however, is the battery low issue. Do you have access to another battery or phone you could charge the battery in? If not you'll need to perform a little surgery on an old USB cable with some wire strippers.

i can get access to a battery but i already tried to sbf..my droid is 2.2 not the leaked version..i did the sbf an at the part where it said please manually reboot this device i unplugged it to reboot is that where i messed up?

 

[furbearingmammal]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER, ever, ever EVER EVER EVER FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER UNPLUG A PHONE WHILE SBFING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully flashing again will fix the problem.

Get the new battery in it or charge yours up ASAP and reflash as soon as possible.

is there some place i can keep in touch so i can get a walk through? the sbf file i placed in the rsd was VRZ_MB810_1.13.6.2_1FF_01.sbf was this the correct file?

 

[furbearingmammal]

Probably not. Every time I see that SBF show up in a thread I'm working I see "stuck in bootloader" or something similar.

i recently did the new ota update that came with madden so its not 2.3.340 will it stll work?

 

[jonstewart2]

so is there a different sbf i should be looking for?

 

[furbearingmammal]

Please be patient. Sometimes things need to be researched before we can proceed.

Do you know what your system build numbers are? Flashing the X requires the numbers to match or else it won't work. Period.

 

[jonstewart2]

ok sorry about that..but forgive me it is 2.2.3.340 me an my dad hav the same phone

 

[Droid DOES!!]

ok sorry about that..but forgive me it is 2.2.3.340 me an my dad hav the same phone

You're in good hands! If ANYBODY can bring you back, its FBM!

 

[furbearingmammal]

Okay. I can find a system-only SBF. Trying to use an earlier SBF will give you a non-functional phone.

I understand the frustration. That's a VERY expensive paperweight you currently have. Let's see if we can get it back to phone status, okay?

Try this SBF. http://bit.ly/hZZcJn Do NOT let your phone become unplugged during flashing.

 

[jonstewart2]

trying the new sbf an not plugging got it...

 

[furbearingmammal]

Good luck!

 

[jonstewart2]

i have one more question i thought the updater.zip had to b manually installed to the sd?

 

[furbearingmammal]

SBF flashing has nothing to do with the SD card.
